PLL Episode 3x01 - It Happened That Night

Clues in this Episode that Aria is A

Over the summer, all four of the girls were doing something different. Emily went to build houses in a place in need, Hanna spent time at home helping her mom and completing her summer checklist, spencer took some classes at Hollis College and Aria went to a photography summer program. Hanna complains that neither Aria or Spencer did anything interesting over the summer and that they really had nothing to talk about. Spencer says:

Spencer: "I took a full load at Hollis and Aria beat out 1,000 applicants for a spot in that photography class!"

We all find out that Aria is very into photography and is obviously very good at it too! We also know that A is very good at photography and enjoys it! We've seen numerous pictures of the girls that A has sent them, we have seen millions of pictures hung up in A's layer and also we have seen A develop pictures in 2x09 as well so obviously they know how to take a good picture and is good at it. It would make sense for someone like A to get into that type of photography class that Aria has also gotten into! Another sign that Aria is A!

We all know that A is the monster that got us all into this mess of Pretty Little Liars, but we don't ever exactly know when A comes into play. Marlene King said that -A would first appear in 1x01 and then reappear in 3x01. Some people say the pilot episode was the "A first appeared" and 3x01 was "The return of A" because of this tweet that Marlene King tweeted. In the first episode they show Aria looking into the mirror, sort of unsure of herself in this dress. Again in 3x01, we see Aria, again, looking at herself in the mirror unsure of herself with the exact same dress on. Why would they show this scene more than once if it wasn't a clue? This was the only scene repeated in both 1x01 and 3x01 and the only scene that was ever repeated throughout all of the seasons of Pretty Little Liars. This scene definitely goes along with the theory of "A first appearing" and "The return of A". Not only is is a clue to that, but it is also a clue to Aria's split personality disorder. Looking in your reflection often unsure of yourself is a symptom of a split personality disorder that Aria is rumored to have. All of these clues point directly at Aria making her A!

Aria's split personality disorder:

Aria was found taking a nap in Ezra's apartment. She wakes up in panic and Ezra jumps to make sure she's ok. Aria beings to freak out. Looks like her nightmares are starting to come back again! That isn't a healthy sign! When Aria wakes up Ezra immediately says:Ezra: "Is everything OK? I thought the nightmares stopped?"Aria: "I guess they're starting to come back..."Having continual nightmares definitely is not a healthy sign and she obviously has suffered through this before which also isn't healthy. Looks like Aria's health isn't as strong as we all thought now is it!

In between passing periods Aria goes into the bathroom Stall. She thinks that she see's A again, but it turns out she didn't. She begins to freak out and screams "HELP!!" Hanna and Spencer then come rushing in the bathroom. They find Aria sitting on the floor in the bathroom and quickly rush over to her and say:

Spencer: "Aria, are you ok?"

Aria: "I just had a panic attack."

Panic attacks are one of the symptoms of a split personality or Multiple Personality Disorder.
